It was the late 90s as I recall and he took the books from the library near where we lived in Wichita Falls, TX. He was pastor of the First Baptist Church there. He bragged that he wasn't bringing the books back. I didn't go to church, and certainly not his if I did go, but I have no doubt he did plenty of bragging from the pulpit. Folks donated more books, I can't remember the exact details, but the city made the librarian take the books off the shelf and bought themselves a big fat lawsuit brought by the ACLU. The city (the taxpayers of the city) lost and the books were returned to the shelves. But Jeffress made himself a big deal from that stunt. Wonder what those Moms for "Liberty" are aspiring to? President of the PTA? Room moms? Queen of the New Confederacy? Jeeze. Get some new material, people.
